WordPress 3.5 – backend is messed up

    I installed 3.5 after having 3.4.2

    Visually, my website is fine — thescorecardreview.com (except now my menus lost their style when I deactivated and reactivated my plug-ins, anyone know why?)

    The backend is messed up. Everything is kind of clear. I wish I could post a screen grab here.

    If I put my curser on SETTINGS, all the of setting options show up, but they are overlapping with whatever is already on the screen. Make sense?

    The problem, buttons like TAGS aren’t working. Any clue what is going on? I can email a screen grab if someone would be willing to take a look.

    have you tried:

    -deactivating ALL plugins (yes, all) temporarily to narrow down the problem. If the problem goes away, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s). If you can’t get into your admin dashboard, try resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems (because the hooks remain unless plugins completely removed or some plugins stick around in cached files. So by renaming the folder, you break them and force them inactive).

    -switching to the unedited default theme for a moment using the WP dashboard. If you don’t have access to your admin area, you can switch to the default theme by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes via FTP or SFTP or whatever file management application your host provides. The idea is to force WordPress to fall back to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific issue.

    -If the above troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, try manually re-uploading all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory from a fresh download of WordPress. This should replace your core files without changing your content and settings in wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory. Read the Manual Update directions first!

    My menu issue for users has resolved. thescorecardreview.com looks exactly like it is supposed to.

    I have tried to deactivate ALL plugins. nothing changed.
    I have switched to a default theme. nothing changed.

    I have a user who is an EDIOTR (not admin) and they aren’t seeing the following problem …

    t-p, do you understand my other problem? My admin menu in the backend is WHITE (didn’t used to be). If I put the cursor over SETTINGS, the sub-menu shows up on top of the background (it overlaps and you see the words overlapping).

    Media buttons, TAGS, and some other things aren’t clickable right now. It’s like an 80 percent backend.

    Thoughts?

    -Try adding this to the wp-config.php: define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false);
    before this line: require_once. First, make sure that your browser has JavaScript enabled.

    My problem is solved as well.
    I deleted plug-ins, updated theme and slowly reactivated everything. the problem didn’t reemerge.

    Thanks for the help.
